Fellow selfhoster, do you encrypt your drives where you put data to avoid privacy problems in case of theft? If yes, how? How much does that impact performances? I selfhost (amongst other services) NextCloud where I keep my pictures, medical staff, …in short, private stuff and I know that it’s pretty difficult that a thief would steal my server, buuut, you never know! 🤷🏻‍♂️

      I think he is saying that his physical attack surface is very small since he is remote, so maybe he doesn’t bother?

      Either way, encrypting drives is simply always good if you ever resell the computer or upgrade drives.
